We're Firing Our Dad As The Photographer

Okay, I think I've done this Florida trip to death, so this will be the last on the trip.
There were lots of tasty photos from our Florida vacation that were taken by DAD. My sister and I decided we looked most terrible in all the photos DAD took, and less hideous in the ones we snapped of each other.

So, I'm going to share a few of our favourites, but I'm not sharing any monstrosities of me in my bathing suit at the ocean. There are some things a girl will NOT do--even for laughs.

one of us looks DRUNK already. Slurp it up, karen.
Doesn't it look like I'm working a 'stache???

You'll all say, "karen, there's nothing wrong with this!"
I will say; "sure, I'll have another helping of CHIN"

even the world's yummiest dinner looks gross

INFAMY

Good grief.

We've decided what we actually are is a pair of DORKS.

There is a photo that TRUMPS all of these though. It is so priceless. So classic. But, I can't show you the real photo. My sister has FORBIDDEN me from ever posting it. She is afraid that it will become one of those infamous "BLACK FRAME" pictures we all like to post. You know--like "UNDERPANTS: MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU KNOW" or something like that.

It's a pic of the two of us sitting up before we hit the sack, in our matching pink jammies. I have my legs demurely under the sheet, and sister was sitting with her nightie demurely pulled down.

However, there's this amazing optical illusion, created by lighting and shadows that TOTALLY makes the way her legs are touching look like LADY BITS. There's even a tiny, tiny peek of underpants which look like...well, I have to be honest here people: the little swatch of underpants looks like the LOVE BUTTON.

But like I said: she has EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN ME to post the photo. So, I arted it for you instead:

It is the funniest f*cking thing I have ever seen. After dad forwarded that batch of pics to my sister, she had to phone me in her horror, and get me to have a look at the picture, because she thought it looked super rude and dirty, even though it truly is just her legs.

Oh man.

Our dad is so oblivious too. All he thinks he's seeing are his two best girls, and he's all filled with glowing fatherly love as he snaps his terrible photos.

What I will share with you, is my reaction to the photo, as I'm chatting on my portable phone with her. I was dying! DYING!!!!

you guys look like you had a really good time! and you look very serious about your drink in that first photo. and your hats.... well, they look like the hats of pasty white girls at the beach. i join you in your quest for sun coverage and i look equally.... white.that is a lovely piece of artwork you did there! i'm a little mad at aimee for not letting you share the hilarity with us. makes me think maybe it really is her vagina. hmmm...

LMAO SHerilin! I ASSURE you, there is NO vagina.. just the ILLUSION. I almost let Karen post it.. but then when I was laying in bed I suddenly realized that it can not get leaked onto the internet. Who KNOWS what some stranger will do to that picture.. it could end up in millions of those stupid hotmail FORWARDS! eeek!

Karen, your photo KILLED me... hehehehe. And why, why did we have to look so lame? Dad MUST be fired.. and all cameras must be stripped from his possession!

I LOVE laughing till I cry!And I laughed loud and long at your artwork, Karen, it's a classic. See? EVERYONE has a Photo of Doom, whatever form it may take!You are certainly taking your drinking very seriously, I like that.And as for the Dork Factor - you know what you need, Karen and Aimee? You need FROCKS! Cool, cute, lightweight, pretty, flattering summer frocks. That is my Style Guru tip of the Day. (Cos you know that's what I am.... Ha!) xxxxxxxxxxx

Curtise, I read this comment yesterday before I got a chance to reply, and I've been thinking about it ever since. And dammit, you're RIGHT: we DO need some summer frocks! I think I'm just about done with shorts anyway. Blech and frumpy!

Please continue to be my style guru. I think I've forgotten how to dress since having the children.

OMG!! She showed me the pic!! I laughed as hard as you did!!! I couldnt speak...BEST PIC EVER!!! hahahahahaha...i loved watching your vid...brought me right back to it...adn i love that Aim had to keep ZOOMING in on it! hahahahaha!
